English translation

It is narrated from Shuraid (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) asked me to recite the poetry of Umayyah bin Abi Salt. I began reciting the verses, and whenever I recited a verse, the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) would say, "Recite more," until I had recited a hundred verses. The Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Umayyah was close to becoming a Muslim."
